A member asked:

How does the tree pose in yoga help tone your thighs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Balance and strength: Tree pose, or vrksasana, requires focus and balance as well as strength. It is a play between the grounded foot, calf and thigh and the bent leg. See http://www.Yogajournal.Com/poses/496 more information on this deceptively simple pose.
